I've heard they have great customer service.
Per your suggestion I called Lake. Their customer service desk was very easy to reach and their feedback was identical to that of my bike fitter. The MX241 is for people with very wide feet, foot deformations and/or bunions. Lake said if I have none of these issues the MX238 is the way to go.
As for the Shimano PD-M8120 pedals, I definitely see your point. They are 430g per pair vs Time Cyclo 6 @ 268g per pair. The Cyclo 10 pedals would bring that weight down to 256g. Nothing wrong with saving a few grams, and I do intend to ask my bike fitter about the Time Cyclo pedals. However, the weight of the Shimano pedals doesn't concern me (as I'm not racing).
Thanks for the feedback and the push-back. I greatly appreciate the assistance!
